1.8 billion people live without adequate shelter.
We are Habitat for Humanity Great Britain, an international charity fighting global poverty and homelessness, we believe that a decent home helps to permanently break the cycle of poverty and allows families to achieve strength, stability and self-reliance.
Why Housing?
Home is a key catalyst in helping to permanently break the cycle of poverty. A lack of decent housing negatively affects the health, education, and well-being of people around the world.
We have a vision of a world where everyone has a safe place to call home.
How are we achieving our vision?
We are known for building homes. But our work does not stop there.
- We provide financial inclusion, land rights and hygiene training.
- Spread awareness about gender inequalities and inheritance rights.
- Rehabilitate slums and renovate empty spaces into safe homes.
- Provide emergency response to countries experiencing disasters.
- Construct safe, private toilets to meet sanitation needs.
- Find solutions for people displaced by urbanisation.
- Finding solutions to the harmful effects of climate change.
